Need ideas for manual offsite storage

Thread needs solution

I am new to Acronis and am using True Image 2014.
I want to regularly backup from my primary hard drive to a second internal hard drive. (That I have working).
At some random intervals, I want to copy the backup files from my second hard drive to one of several external USB drives that I will move off site.
Then I want to clone my original hard drive to the second hard drive, effectively wiping out any backup files there.
Later, I may want to restore selected files from one of the external USB drives.
Is this possible with Acronis?
If so, what are the recommended steps? Do I need to copy the backup files from the external USB drive back to the 2nd hard drive at the original location?
Thanks

I don't understand the step about cloning the original hard drive to the second hard drive. It seems unrelated to the desire to have offsite backups. Correct?
If yes, you can definitely copy backups files to another disk. Best practice is then to validate the copied archives from ATI so that you know the copy is correct.
For offsite backup, many users use a system where they rotate the disks. To do this, create a separate task for each USB drive.
